Del, what a nice surprise to receive your posting on Genforum!I just received it a short time ago.I am very familar with the Skeels, etc.I am the daughter of Janice Garby Potter, daughter of Louis and Rose Garby.I believe my mother and you were first cousins.I remember Roy and Vernie from meeting them as a child.
My mother Janice passed away in 1996 and I wrote to Louis and Eva in Puyallup at the time to let them know.Mother often spoke of growing up with you all and especially Louis.I heard from them a few times and then lost connection,as I think Louis was ill at the time.
I have done quite a bit of genealogy research on the Garbys and would be happy to share with you, if you are doing research as well.I have traced Charles back to Warren, Germany but have not been able to locate his parents as yet or get beyond that area.I have not been able to pursue this hobby much during the past year, due to my husband's illnesses, but am hoping to begin again this summer.Please feel free to contact me at "[email protected]" directly.I would enjoy sharing information.A year or so ago I met Claudine Garby, who was married to Dell's son, Louis, and also met her children.
Her son Eric Garby is a Doctor and about a year ago, moved to Lewiston to begin practice at St.Joseph - isn't that a strange coincidence.Dell's daughter Carol lives in a retirement home in Mercer Island.
Would enjoy hearing from you!
